One of the guys in my messaging team showed me this the other day and if I’m honest, I didn’t really believe it. Within Windows 7, if you create a new folder and append the following text string to the name you give it:

.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

You will find that the icon changes to resemble a Control Panel icon. When you open the folder you will be presented with a centralised list of configuration options for you Windows 7 installation. Apparently this also works on Windows Vista but I don’t have a Vista machine to test it with, however, I have tried it on a couple of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installs without any issues as shown below:

God mode

God Mode might be a bit of an ambitious title but it’s certainly quite cool and will probable come in handy. Give it a go!
